Tuned Default Weapons

I think so.

Just asking about the intended use case of this, did you feel that gatlings were too accurate for ship to ship combat and thus balanced it around that?

you can increase turrets, or get other type of turret, or create another defend system.

That means for survival they are entirely useless to defend against mother nature's asteroid rain?

yes. it changed angle 0.2 -> 1.0

So if I understand it correctly, this makes the Gatling Gun five times less accurate?

you can find it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Data\Weapons.sbc
*your installed location

then copy the file (and make directory) like this:
C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\MyMod\Data\Weapons.sbc

and edit parameter:
<DeviateShotAngle>0</DeviateShotAngle>
*find your target by <SubtypeId>
*bigger number means lesser accuracy.

and set "MyMod" in mod panel in game.

where is the weapons.sbc?

see weapons.sbc

can someone please tell me how to activate the weapoin targeting option on the turrets?
